James, cool looking speakers! What is the advantage of two tweeters (or dual tweeters)? I've not seen many other manufactures use this design. Did you experiment with a single tweeter version to compare? thanks!
Hi jackman
My Model T Journey (or what I did on my summer vacation):I started out checking with a number of speaker companies about my idea of building a quality loudspeaker but in ACTIVE form only - meaning an outboard electronic crossover and six channels of outboard (Bryston) amplification.
So over the last year and a bit we built a pair of the single woofer, single mid range and single tweeter version first and they were OK. Then I tried a dual woofer, single mid and single tweeter, then a dual woofer, dual mid and single tweet then a triple woofer, dual mid and single tweeter and finally a triple woofer, dual mid and dual tweeter.
The difference is: "dynamic capabilities with low distortion" improve substantially with the dual tweeter and in most speakers that is the limitation. Also the efficiency of the driver compliment means that there is not a lot of padding down required in the crossover to match the power capabilities of the different drivers (Tweeters/Mids/Woofers).
Then I decided to try a Passive version to see how close we could come to the sound of the Active Model T – I am very happy with the results and it offers our customers a state of the art sound at a very reasonable price.
